BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 6, 1920.

Applicatiomfiled June 19, 1918. Serial No. 240,739.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLAIR.A. TRAHAN, a citizen of the United States, residingat Beaumont, in the county of Jefferson and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burners; and

I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in hydrocarbon burners.

An important object of this invention is to provide a burner of the character described adapted to project a jet of steam and oil, on opposite sides of a separator disk, so that the oil and steam will not contact until after leaving the burner.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described, which is of highly simplified construction, few in parts, and cheap to manufacture.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described, which by virtue of its extreme simplicity and fewness of parts may easily be taken apart for the purpose of cleaning and so forth.

A further object of the invention is to provide a hydrocarbon burner consisting of two duplicate parts reversed and connected by an intermediate separating plate and having a pair of inlet pipes from opposite sides of the plate, to which the burner is connected.

Other. objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in whichlike numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a hydrocarbon burner embodied in this invention,

'Fig. 2 is a section through the burner taken at right angles to the View shown in Fig. l,

Fig. 3 is a plan view of one member of the burner, and,

Fig. 4 is a detail elevation showing the outlet opening for the oil and the steam.

In the drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numerals 5 and 6 designate a pair of coacting top and bottom members respectively which are identical in construction and are adapted to have their inner faces opposed. Interiorly screw threaded openings 7 and 8 extend radially into one side of the member 5 and 6, and are adapted for engagement with supply pipes 9 and 10 respectively. As clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the opposed faces of the members 5 and 6 are provided with cylindrical recesses 10. Extending from the cylindrical recesses 10, are cylindrical recesses 11 in the members 5 and 6, said cylindrical recesses 11 serving to effect communication between the pipes 9 and 10 and the recesses 10 in the opposed faces of the members 5 and 6. Discharge openings 12 aredisposed in the opposed faces of the members 5 and 6 and extending from the recesses 10. The discharge openings 12 are pro-- clearly shown in Fig. 1, the members 5 and 6 are provided with vertical alining openings 18 adapted for the reception of screw threaded bolts 19. The upper member 5 is provided with a smoothbore, while the lower member 6 is interiorly screw threaded for engagement with the bolts 19.

With reference to Fig. 2, it will be apparent that the steam and oil maybe fed separately through the pipes 9 and 10 and projected outwardly through the discharge openings 12 on opposite sides of the disk, thus preventing contact of the oil and steam before the same is discharged from the contacted opening.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is understood that I may make such minor changes in arrangement and construction of parts, as will remain within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A hydrocarbon burner includin coacting sections having their oppose sides provided With recesses and entrance openmgs communicating with said recesses, a

10 separatordisk arranged between the sections,

the front portions ofv said sections being provided with discharge openings having outwardly diverging side walls and upper and lower walls curved inwardly from their 15 ends toward said disk.

2. A hydrocarbon burner including two tiWO ,coacting sections having recesses in their opposed sides, means to supply steam and oil to said recesses, a separator disk arranged between the sections, the front portions of said sections being provided with discharge openings having outwardly diverging side walls and upper and lower walls tapered in- ,wardl toward their forward ends and curve transversely from said side Walls toward .said separator disks.

In'testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
